One of the most stirring movies I have ever seen. This is the best documentary ever made IMO. Watch it.

I enjoyed it too. His first documentary (I think), Roger & Me, is just as good. Worth tracking down. |

I saw it in school and it was very good, and entertaining too. I think he succeeded in illustrating the the problem the US have with gun shootings.

Yeah, it's a good documentary.
I would also recommend reading some of his books, like 'Stupid White Men' and 'Dude, Where's My Country'. Amusing and interesting.

Only if you agree with his opinions already.

Correct. Moore's style does little to change your mind.

I think Roger & Me is probably better in that respect... although since I agree with the points it tries to make, I can't be sure  Also, Bowling For Columbine attempts to cover many issues with varying success, and Roger & Me is more focused.
There were a couple of bits in Columbine where I think he tried to rely too much on emotive tactics (like the end of his experience with Heston, overstated by the two-angle editing), and I think these scenes appeared slightly tacky and let the film down, but not enough to really damage it overall. |
